Joe Ely. Saw him once in Leeds do a solo concert because his band was not allowed in the country, apparently. Did requests. Love his sly rewritings of legendary outlaws: Me And Billy The Kid, Miss Bonnie And Mr. Clyde.

Did he have any connection with the drummer Aynsley Dunbar, drummer with John Mayall, Jeff Beck amongst others?
I imagine not…
Yes I agree too for obvious reasons, just interesting that ‘Sly” comes from Aynsley as well as same surname. Both unique drummers and Aynsley very underated.

Much as I was irritated by his commentaries, this is sad news for those who loved him.

Ed Iskenderian, 104. Passed Feb 4th 2026.
- That’s a very good innings. Long-lived, like his engines.
An original hot rodding pioneer who started with a Ford model T, and was later known by many as the Camfather. Amazingly, he was still driving only last week, in the car he built in 1940.
Perhaps most famous for his camshaft designs and innovations.
